Step 5 - Take the First Manual Hit

When you start the calibration procedure for the LSPX1 Probe Changer, a series of message boxes prompt you through the process of measuring three manual hits. Three hits are required to fully define the orientation of this rack in the machine’s XY plane. It is not necessary to align the rack to any single axis, as the manual hits identify any rotation involved. Follow the prompts and take the needed hits as shown in the pictures for each hit.

You will take the first hit just above the pin in the back of the first port in the group. The prompt for the first hit on the back of the first port is:

PC-DMIS Message

Please remove all stylus holders from the ports.

When ready, please take a hit in the back of the first port (port 1) directly above the pin.

Prompt for the first manual hit in the back of the first port

1. When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.

2. Remove all of the modules and styli by sliding them forward and out of the ports.

3. Use your machine's jog box to take the first manual hit in the XY plane, on the vertical face in the back of port 1 as shown below:

In the next step, you take the second manual hit.
